The recent flooding in the
city of Chennai has had an adverse impact on a large number of both residential
as well as commercial projects in and around the city. And the humongous loss
of functionality as well as property also enveloped the textile industry of the
area. Pertaining to the rains, even the festive sales for Christmas have taken
a hit, thus worsening the already grim situation.

Given that the textile and clothing
sector is the largest provider of employment, second only to agriculture,
creating a whopping 4.5 crore jobs across the nation, both the textile as well
as the commerce ministries are on the lookout for new strategies in an attempt
to boost the exports..

Currently the Indian textile exports
are heavily dependent on the developed nations i.e. the US & EU nations.
However, the center is planning to attract the exporters to new markets, which
have a great potential in store, such as Africa. This will subsequently help in
expanding the geographical spread of the Indian textile and garment supplies. While this move may not show instant results,
it will definitely help the Indian markets in the long run.

In the present day
scenario, as for any other industry, the most pressing need in the textile
industry is to create sustainable solutions that help in the conservation of
resources to the greatest extent possible. A feasible way to ensure that
resources are conserved is to gauge the textile manufacturing process
meticulously and pin-pointing the areas where there is some potential to
initiate savings. Since energy, water and additives are the major components
that go into the manufacturing
of textiles, it
is the saving of these very elements that matter the most. In this regard, the
Resource Calculator has come off as a major relief.
